OGC web services and GML modelling for operational meteorology. Communique - workshop findings and outcomes

This document summarises the discussion and recommendations of a workshop convened by the UK Met Office to examine the application of OGC Wed Services and GML Modelling to Operational Meteorology. The workshop addressed the need to define best practice for development of data standards that span multiple subject domains, jurisdictions and processing technologies. The findings of this workshop will be of use not only to organisations involved in the processing of meteorological data, but any community that requires interoperability along a data processing chain.
